Can you get an std like aids or herpes through making out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Oral kissing is unlikely to lead to the transmission of certain sexually transmitted infections, unless there is bleeding into the mouth from a break in the skin/mucous membrane. The risk is very low still.
